Can the Phillies really take the NL East from the Mets?

Jimmy Rollins recently said that he felt that his team was the team to beat this year.The Phillies have acquired Wes Helms of the Marlins and traded for Freddy Garcia from the White Sox.The Mets basically took the "if it ain't broke,don't fix it approach" and it ended up costing them Darren Oliver,Chad Bradford,Julio Lugo,Barry Zito,Alfonso Soriano and Jeff Weaver.However,they DID re-sign Jose Reyes,David Wright,Tom Glavine,Orlando Hernandez and Jose Valentin.What do you guys think?Me?I think that the Mets have a long road ahead of them,but they'll come out on top.
